Errrr... I think you guys are out of luck. IL2 1946 is a "Simulation" not a game. There's no trainer alive going to allow you to "fly like an ace". There's no "shortcut" with this game. You need a joystick, rudder pedals, TrackIR, patience and ton's of practice. If you play off-line the game provides all the "cheats" you need you can set it for unlimited ammo, indistructability, easy flight, no take offs, no landings etc... but no instant kill. You have to put lead in his belly and steel on the target. There is no substitution.

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you!!!!"

Exactly! What are you expecting a trainer to do? Unlock extra aircraft or something? This isn't that sort of game. If you want something that's not in the provided scenarios, then build a mission that has what you want.
